With the new FTC rules I want to be clear on any sort of compensation I may receive through blogging. Occasionally I may receive small fees through affiliate plans, payment for articles I have written or sell the supplies I discuss.

This is nothing new, isn't a whole lot... and a small facet of how I make my living as an artist. I have never, and will never promote products I don't believe in.

Here’s the scoop:Winners need to contact me within the next 5 days by emailing me at khryctee[at]bellsouth.net, or leaving another comment here – with the correct email to notify them. I’ll need your mailing addies by then or else the beloved prize in question gets shipped off to the runner-up. And, just in case the runner up has a bad case of not-claiming-giftitis, then I will merely redraw a name. Someone, somewhere will want it badly enough If you don’t truly want that day’s prize let me know, or pick someone to pass it on to.

Didn’t Win? Keep trying! Really, there are even more amazing prizes heading your way… and there may even be days where everyone – yes like every single person – who enters who will be a winner. How’s that do for something to look forward to? I thought you’d like it!

Ok, the hard part — and also the kind of fun part — the prize recipients! Doesn’t that sound nicer? We’re all winners, even if the prize eludes us.

“Some people give time, some money, some their skills and connections, some literally give their life’s blood. But everyone has something to give.”

Oh! In case you were curious; receipents are not-so-scientifically-selected using one of those handy generator thingies found online. Noone has found a way to bribe me yet. Not saying it can’t be done, but ya know — it’s gotta be a realllllllllllllllllllly good offer. An in with the technology gods would be great… felt foods, art supplies I don’t have… the list goes on…

Even though the drawings on these drawings are closed – I still think they are worth a read – especially the comments. Amazing discussion, laughs & communities have been forming. Join In! It’s a wondrous feeling! Start from Day 0 and work your way up!

And there ya have it… the first round of giftees! Recipients – Don’t forget to contact me with your mailing address within the next 5 days by emailing me at khryctee[at]bellsouth.net, or leaving another comment here – with the correct email to notify you! Extra Credit if your email contains lots of OMG’s, squeals of rampant delight especially on the prizes that contained submissions of my own.

Even though there’s no giveaway on this post … I have enjoyed all our ‘talks’ in the comments, it’s actually been my favorite part of all this…. so if ya feel like chatting with me, why not play a lil game with me?

It’s easy – I promise!

Just finish this sentence …

Maybe I will…..

Can’t wait to see your responses! Hugs to all!

Chrysti – who needs to get crackin’ on putting today’s giveaway up! – It’s another incredible one. What an amazing, generous community we have – y’all inspire me. Daily.

P.S. I totally forgot when I started this, I am travelling over the holidays … and won’t be able to post daily while there ( hoping to try, but chances are slim) … do you think it’d be best if i put it on hold while gone? Or post as I can while there? I figured, y’all may be swept away in holiday plans too.

Yipee! I’m a winner! I just emailed you my info. And I hadn’t read the “extra credit” part yet, so all those exclamation points are truly rampant delight! Congratulations to all the other winners!!

Maybe I will… (hmmm, I’m having a real tough time here…)… Okay, riding the energy of having won something here…

“Maybe I will” push away all doubt and truly believe, even just for today, that I am a very lucky person, and that all I need or want comes to me easily and effortlessly, in the most harmonious of ways.

Maybe I will…
-stop putting myself and my work down
– start making art for the fun of it and not worry about things having to have a ‘use’
– not care what friends and family members think about what I’m doing
-spend more time reading good books

As for posting…do whatever is best for YOU! We’ll all be grateful for whatever you manage and will still be here in the new year.

I noticed I was back up one for the little chairs. not sure if you’ve heard from Marie yet but this is my current e-mail if she doesn’t get back to you.
good luck with your laundry and all the other things on to-do list. my list is still quite scary. oh well, I love Christmas.
